Information

Blaufränkisch is a red wine from Austria, especially popular in the Burgenland region. It has a deep garnet color and a robust, spicy taste. This wine features aromas of dark berries, black cherries, and a hint of pepper. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins and flavors of ripe fruit, black pepper, and a long, earthy finish. Blaufränkisch pairs wonderfully with red meats, game, and hearty stews. Its bold, complex character makes it ideal for both casual and formal meals.

Fun facts

Blaufränkisch is one of the few Austrian wines that has inspired songs, such as traditional drinking tunes sung during harvest festivals in Burgenland. One popular example is "Wein, Weib und Blaufränkisch," a cheerful ode to wine and celebration in the region.
